The Story of the Earth presents the complex history of the Earth from its formation through to the emergence of man and his
influence on the planet. Peter Cattermole and Patrick Moore trace the evolution of Earth from its beginnings in the primeval
Solar Nebula, through its bombardment by cosmic particles, continental drifting and the formation of mountains and oceans,
and end with a study of the last Ice Age and the rise of man. While the approach is roughly chronological, time is spent in
explaining some of the methods that geologists, physicists, chemists and biologists use to discover what processes have contributed
to the internal make-up and external appearance of our unique planet. Accounts are included of the dramatic events that are
still changing the face of the Earth: volcanoes and photographs - several taken from orbiting satelites - help to elucidate
the story. ... Cover

and periglacial activity and the Martian winds, and that the surface once featured rivers, streams and possibly rivers of
snow and ice

"In the first book on the geology of Venus to incorporate findings from the Magellan spacecraft's four-year mapping mission,
Peter Cattermole introduces the reader to the strange world of Venusian landscapes - some reassuringly familiar, others spectacularly
non-Earthlike, and all produced by geological processes of intriguing differences and parallels to those of Earth. Cattermole
presents the latest research on Venusian plate tectonics, volcanoes, hot spots, cold spots, mountain belts, fracture zones,
winds, erosion, craters, and lithosphere structure." "With nearly 150 detailed maps and dramatic, high-resolution images,
some in full color, Venus: The Geological Story presents state-of-the-art information in a stunning visual format. While many
of the topics regarding Venusian geography remain controversial, Cattermole offers an unbiased presentation that makes clear
which recent data may be subject to reinterpretation in the future. This is the definitive book on a subject of interest to
scientist and nonscientist alike."--Jacket

Venus, closest planet to the Earth, is a torrid world of extremes, shrouded from direct view by dense clouds. Atlas of Venus
shows all the fascinating detail discovered on the recent Magellan mission as well as data from earlier ones. Giving the historical
background to our perception of the planet, the book clearly explains why Venus has been the goal of so many missions by both
Russian and American Space programs. With the latest images from the Magellan mission, this colourful atlas shows the beautiful
landscapes of Venus and its dynamic volcanism. Over 100 maps and illustrations show the dramatic beauty of this mysterious
but very photogenic planet. Complete with detailed maps and a gazetteer of all landmarks this is the essential reference source
for all professional and amateur astronomers and planetary scientists interested in our closest neighbour

"In the wake of a flood of new data and images from several exploratory missions, fascination with Mars has become even more
intense than it was when Percival Lowell believed he had observed canals constructed by live Martians. While we know that
these never existed, we do have evidence that Mars once had rivers, shallow lakes, glaciers, huge active volcanoes, and intense
flooding. In this book Peter Cattermole, a geologist who has been studying the planet for many years, captures the sense of
continuing excitement about Mars and its history. He builds his story on the foundations of his earlier book, Mars: The Story
of the Red Planet (Chapman Hall, 1992). An immense amount of visual, geochemical, and physical data concerning the rocks,
landscape, and weather is now available. The new book draws on this wealth of new information, providing a clear account of
current scientific understanding of the Red Planet."--Publisher's description

The solar system, of which Earth is but a small part, is an amazing collection of bodies, ranging in size from the Sun, through
the giant planet Jupiter, to specks of dust left over from the primordial nebula from which the solar system emerged. Excluding
the Sun, the eight major planets, together with several dwarf planets and at least 160 orbiting natural satellites, form the
main mass of the system. These are made from an amalgam of silicate, metal, ice, and gas. Introducing the Planets and Their
Moons describes the characteristics and geological development of the eight large planetary bodies and their more substantial
moons. This includes discussion of their orbital properties, magnetic fields, atmospheres, and mutual interactions. Rather
than deal with the system planet by planet, the book's approach is comparative. Thus, one chapter deals with planetary orbits,
another with planetary differentiation, and a third with volcanism. This enables the reader to perceive immediately how their
position and size led these bodies along different evolutionary paths. Introducing the Planets and Their Moons is illustrated
with some of the finest images available and includes a useful glossary for reference.--
